I've some sympathy with this suggestion, but I'm wary of 'weakening' the halves for a game against theoretically weaker opposition, as we know it can come back to bite us. Without knowing what Reynold's niggling problem is it's hard to say whether it's worth the risk, but I guess if we're going to take it this would be the right kind of game.

See what you've done here is confused a wild conspiracy theory with a reasonable possibility. Unless you're suggesting that nobody has ever been promoted/given a leg up due to their sex, which would be as naive as it is absurd. Anyway, back to the rugby (again).

Agreed, we live in a country where discrimination essentially no longer exists. That's why most people rightly despise the DEI agenda currently invading every nook and cranny of our lives, it's a solution to a problem that no longer exists. We can debate why, despite this, we are still getting it shoved down our throats at every opportunity some other time. Right, back to the rugby.

Which wild conspiracy theories would those be then? I've just re-read the thread and all I can see are opinions.......

She's slowly morphing into Eorl Crabtree, so it should work. 'We didn't have much time so we created a raised stone burial mound, from where their filthy hot tub would have views of the surrounding Giblets, reached by a stepped aorta with a bright flurry of vas deferens every few feet just to lift the mood.'

You have to wonder how much Betfred put in given the actual value of the product? My guess is a pound each way. No surprise the BBC showed the ladies' final though while ignoring ours - what an insult to the men's game - they appear to have decided to go all in on women's rugby and football etc despite the overall lack of interest, and give them a platform and status they haven't earned and never could.

With any luck it’ll just rain during the women’s final, at least then no fans will get wet.

Sorry m'lud.

Equally thinly veiled pompous nonsense from someone who thinks he's the lord of the fev forum. Get a life lad,

Nope, me too. The 1895 cup was already pointless and a distraction before the IMG b*llocks hoved into view, and it's even more so now. That said I know many Fev fans loved their trips down to London for the final so what do I know?

That's on a par with 'someone hacked my twitter account'.

This was pretty much where I was too after yesterday's latest embarrassment. Heard him blaming the players again on Radio Leeds on my way home, and however much of a point he's got it's not a good position for any coach to take, and suggests he doesn't have any answers as to how we're going to get out of our current doldrums. I won't lie, I didn't want him after the London playoff game last season as I saw that as his rehearsal for the job proper, and as we all know he (and we) failed miserably in one of the most shameful performances I've ever seen. However, I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt, not least given it was possible the 'he's not had enough time to build his own team/get his ideas across' crew could have a point, but it looks very much like he's not up to it.

Dec Patton?

You're not wrong, until I googled it I was about to refer the Fox family to the local child safeguarding board.
